Things got tense in the 3rd inning between the St. Louis Wizards and Chicago Docs. Chicago ace Dwight Gooden hit St. Louis leadoff hitter Oscar Charleston with the first pitch of the inning. Charleston had a few words with Gooden and both benches cleared, but order was restored without any ejections. Charleston scored on a sacrifice fly later in the inning. Charleston led off the game with a triple, but was gunned down at the plate by Jim Edmonds a batter later. Orlando Cepeda hit a 2-run homer for his 1st of the year. Overall, Gooden allowed 6 runs and 9 hits in 8 innings, despite striking out 10. The Docs ace dropped to 0-4. Stan Musial hit a 3-run homer for insurance in the 9th off reliever Roy Oswalt. Wizards starter Robin Roberts stayed sharp, allowing just 1 run and 8 hits in 8 innings, picking up his 3rd win, dropping his ERA to 1.85, just behind teammate Carl Hubbell’s 1.71. The Wizards are now 17-3, while the Docs dropped to 7-13.
